SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Why participate in the City Nature Challenge?\nThere is nature all around us\, even in our cities! Knowing what species are in our city and where they are helps us study and protect them\, but the ONLY way to do that is by all of us – scientists\, land managers\, and the community – working together to find and document the nature in our area. By participating in the City Nature Challenge\, not only do you learn more about your local nature\, but you can also make your city a better place – for you and other species! \nOur History\nStarted in 2016 for the first-ever Citizen Science Day\, the citizen science teams at Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and California Academy of Sciences dreamed up the City Nature Challenge as a fun way to capitalize on their home cities’ friendly rivalry and hold a citizen science event around urban biodiversity. The first City Nature Challenge was an eight-day competition between Los Angeles and San Francisco\, engaging residents and visitors in documenting nature to better understand urban biodiversity. Over 20\,000 observations were made by more than 1000 people in a one-week period\, cataloging approximately 1600 species in each location\, including new records for both areas. During the 2016 CNC\, we heard so much excitement and interest from people in other cities that we decided we couldn’t keep to the fun just to ourselves. In 2017 the City Nature Challenge went national\, and in 2018\, the CNC became an international event! \nLearn How to Participate Here.

SUMMARY:ESD for 2030 Roadmap Regional Launch
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO is organizing regional online launch events of the ESD for 2030 Roadmap which provides guidance for Member States and other stakeholders for the implementation of the new global framework ‘Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs’ (ESD for 2030): \n\n\nEducation for Sustainable Development (ESD) supports efforts to equip learners with the knowledge\, skills\, values and attitudes needed to contribute to a more inclusive\, just\, peaceful and sustainable world. In its Resolution 72/222 in 2017\, the UN General Assembly recognized ESD as ‘an integral element of the SDG on quality education and a key enabler of all the other SDGs’ and reaffirmed UNESCO’s role as the lead agency on ESD. \n\n\n\n\nTo enhance the global efforts on ESD\, the new framework ‘Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs’ (ESD for 2030) was approved by the 40th UNESCO General Conference and acknowledged by the 74th UN General Assembly in its Resolution 74/233. The new framework ESD for 2030 (2020-2030) builds on the Global Action Programme on ESD (2015 – 2019)\, which followed the UN Decade on ESD (2005-2014)\, and focuses on streamlining ESD within the 2030 Agenda to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals within the next ten years. \nUNESCO has developed a Roadmap which provides guidance for Member States and other stakeholders for the implementation of ESD for 2030. With the postponement of the UNESCO World Conference on ESD from June 2020 to May 2021 due to the pandemic\, UNESCO is organizing regional online launch events of the ESD for 2030 roadmap for implementation. \nProgramme (75min)\n• Opening remarks\n• Introduction of the new ESD for 2030 framework and the Roadmap for implementation\n• Panel discussion: ESD for 2030 – ongoing efforts\, key challenges and opportunities in the region\n• Q&A\n• Closing remarks \nLanguages: English/Russian \n*Link to the Roadmap will be sent to all registered participants prior to the event. \nRegister online

SUMMARY:Centering Culture and Healing in Community Development
DESCRIPTION:EcoDistricts is thrilled to be joined by Nella Young and Meghan Venable-Thomas of Enterprise Community Partners\, for our next EcoDistricts Webinar on November 18th at 11 AM PST/2 PM EST. \nHistorically\, the housing sector has evaluated community development impact through the lens of the number of units produced or preserved. However\, research demonstrates that brick and mortar alone do not cultivate thriving\, sustainable communities. Housing and community development without a comprehensive understanding of residents’ collective lived experience and inherent strengths have significant potential for harmful community disruption\, cultural erasure\, and perpetual trauma. By cultivating community development practices centered on resident’s culture\, creativity\, and healing\, practitioners can fortify the inherent cultural knowledge\, tools\, and practices that make residents intrinsically resilient. \nResident participation\, cultural leadership\, and community buy-in are fundamental to successful projects. An inclusive process enables the project to be more reflective of community needs and benefits. Investing in trust-building with the community can also mitigate community objection and create momentum for future development processes. This saves time and resources\, and increases shared ownership over public spaces\, social accountability for upkeep and safety\, and a sense of belonging for residents. \nIn this webinar\, Meghan and Nella will share their lens on cultural resilience and talk about how advancing community cultural equity\, stewarding organizational development with a cultural lens\, and facilitating space and tools for collective healing can be part of how we define and invest in community resilience. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Enjoy a relaxing float down the Sandy River while collecting litter along its banks.
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a relaxing float down the Sandy River while collecting litter along its banks. This event is a one part relaxing float\, one part exciting scavenger hunt! \nAt 10am\, we’ll gather at Dabney State Recreation Area (using physical distancing) for a short introduction & safety talk. Then we’ll launch our rafts\, kayaks\, and other watercraft into the Sandy! Floaters will stop at various beaches along the river to collect litter\, sometimes working as a team\, for example\, to dig something exciting out of the sand. Who knows what you’ll find! Floaters can expect to arrive at Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area (L&C) around 3pm. \nThis year we’re introducing a Land Litter Team\, where you can participate from the comfort of your own two feet! This group will collect litter at a local recreation area. Youth between 10-17 are also very welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. See ticket options below. \nThis Floating Cleanup is the culmination of our 2nd summer of the “Stash the Trash” program\, a DIY cleanup program at 5 lower Sandy parks. These mesh garbage bags make it easy to ‘pack it out’ while you have fun in the water. \n\n\n\nThere are 4 ticket options. You can register as an ‘individual’\, or if you have multiple people in your group\, you can register as a ‘team’. \n\nReserve a paddle in a 4-6 person raft\nReserve a paddle in a 1-person inflatable kayak (limited availability)\nBYOWC (Bring Your Own Water Craft)\, i.e. you’re bringing your own water craft (kayak\, raft\, tube\, boat\, floatie!) paddle\, and personal flotation device (PPD– or life jacket– is mandatory for everyone).\nLand litter team: collect litter at a local recreation area in a more traditional land-based crew.\n\nTo minimize the potential spread of COVID-19\, participants in each raft (borrowed AND BYO) need to be in the same COVID exposure circle (or “household”). Household groups using a raft provided by Stout Creek Outfitters will float with a masked river guide (guide sits at rear as approved by OR State Marine Board Guidelines). If you have less than 4 people in your household\, please reserve a kayak paddle\, or BYOWC! Thank you for cooperating with this new logistical safety detail. \nIf you’re registering for more than one person\, Click the “Tickets” button\, then choose\, “I want to get tickets as a team member” & make up a team name (or join an existing team). In the order form\, you will be prompted to add your guests’ names & ages. \n\n\n\nSuggested donation: $3-50 per person. Your donation gets you a free parking pass at Dabney! Any additional funds donated support this event and the ongoing operations of the Sandy River Watershed Council. \nMoney or credit-card access shouldn’t be a barrier to participating: contact Katelyn at katelyn@sandyriver.org for sliding scale or card-free options or any other questions. \n\n\n\nBig thank you to our funder\, the City of Troutdale\, and to our partners: Oregon State Parks\, SOLVE\, & Stout Creek Outfitters. \nWe look forward to seeing you on the river! \nRegistration Details Here.
